How can you help?

Help us keep the patterns free and the bowls full.

For 28 years, The Pumpkin Lady® has been a gift to the Halloween community. We’ve always believed that the magic of carving a pumpkin should be accessible to every family, everywhere. That’s why we work year-round to keep our library of nearly 1,000 patterns completely free to download.

But running a global website—and caring for our family of 28 rescue cats—is a big undertaking. Here is how you can help us keep the tradition alive:

1. The Power of Your Visit (Free!)

By simply being here, you are supporting us! We’ve partnered with Raptive to show premium, family-friendly ads on our site. Every time you browse a category or download a pattern, those ads generate a small amount of revenue.

• The Impact: This revenue provides the “baseline” support for our 29 rescues—helping us cover the daily cost of high-quality food, litter, and a warm, safe home for every single one of the “Littles.”

2. Buy Us a Coffee (Direct Care)

If you’ve found the perfect pattern and want to go the extra mile, our Buy Me A Coffee page is the most direct way to support the cats’ specific needs.

• The Impact: 100% of these donations are set aside for medical care. Whether it’s a routine checkup for a kitten or life-saving specialized care for one of our seniors, your “coffees” are what make that medical security possible.

3. Our Amazon Wishlist (The Essentials)

Want to send a gift directly to the studio? We maintain an updated Amazon Wishlist with the exact food, toys, and supplies our 29 rescues use every day.

• The Impact: There is nothing like the joy of opening a box and seeing new scratching posts or a specific brand of specialized kibble that one of our rescues needs. It’s like a Christmas morning in October!
